1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo retrospectively assess the effect of CT slice thickness on the reproducibility of radiomic features (RFs) of lung cancer, and to investigate whether convolutional neural network (CNN)-based super-resolution (SR) algorithms can improve the reproducibility of RFs obtained from images with different slice thicknesses. MATERIALS AND

methodsCT images with 1-, 3-, and 5-mm slice thicknesses obtained from 100 pathologically proven lung cancers between July 2017 and December 2017 were evaluated. CNN-based SR algorithms using residual learning were developed to convert thick-slice images into 1-mm slices. Lung cancers were semi-automatically segmented and a total of 702 RFs (tumor intensity, texture, and wavelet features) were extracted from 1-, 3-, and 5-mm slices, as well as the 1-mm slices generated from the 3- and 5-mm images. The stabilities of the RFs were evaluated using concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs).

resultsThe mean CCCs for the comparisons of original 1 mm vs. 3 mm, 1 mm vs. 5 mm, and 3 mm vs. 5 mm images were 0.41, 0.27, and 0.65, respectively (

conclusionThe reproducibility of RFs in lung cancer is significantly influenced by CT slice thickness, which can be improved by the CNN-based SR algorithms.
